FOOD SAFETY REGULATORY SYSTEM IN 
JAPAN: 
The urgency of the problem of food 
security in Japan acquired after the crisis in the 
world economy in 1974, associated with a 
sharp jump in prices for raw materials and 
energy resources. Japan, which is self-sufficient 
in rice, fruits, vegetables, seafood, is highly 
dependent on the supply of corn, cereals, 
legumes, while the consumption of rice is 
constantly decreasing, giving way to imported 
goods. 
The USA is currently the main exporter to 
Japan. They account for 23.9% of Japanese

food, increasing production, and effectively use 
the resources available in Japan; 
- conclude a bilateral agreement with exporting 
countries, guaranteeing a stable supply of food; 
- create a reserve of the most important 
agricultural products to prevent a crisis; 
- expand aid to agriculture in developing 
countries to diversify sources of imports. 
The state policy of Japan in the field of food 
security is import-oriented and is aimed 
primarily at expanding the market for food 
suppliers and reducing the share of major 
importers in the total supply. 
Thus, we can conclude that the quality of 
the products plays a special role in providing 
the population with food products and 
increasing the export potential in the food and 
processing industry. 
It is known that the competitiveness of a 
product is traditionally determined by a
